To return to seriosity, I reacted to that as well. Steve Jones is quite probably the most rhythmically accurate guitarist of all time...

And why Tom Verlaine over Richard Lloyd?

Andres Segovia and John Williams could play most, if not all of these folks under the table.

And what about Nick Drake? He was an incredible acoustic guitar player.

To an extent, thats more of an issue with the rhythm guitarist, leads have more flexibility in that they can use chords, note, scales, riffs or just an instrumental.

Jimi Hendrix of course. Kirk Hammet should be in the top 10. Jimmy Page should be at number 5 without even considering Led Zeppelin IV.

Lets not be too harsh on Kurt Cobain. As an accoustic guitarist, he is easily the best I've ever heard. Most people concentrate on electrics, an area where he seems relatively mediocre.

Because he was better. In "Marquee Moon", it isn't the Lloyd solo that gets pulses racing.

No, it's Lloyd's insanely accurate and complex riffs underneath the intro, verses and chorus. Since Verlaine is so much better as a solo guitarist I used to think it was him doing them until I saw them live.

Oh, and where's Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the greatest Gospel guitarist of all time?

I find the inclusion of Robert Quine quite interesting. I might have to listen through my Voidoids stuff again, never remembered that as being particularly breathtaking guitar-wise.

Oh, and I just realised: WHERE THE CRAPPING HELL IS JOHNNY THUNDERS???

1-Joe Satriani
2-Eddie Van Halen(for launching a whole new style- not because he's better than my other picks)
3-Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme)
4-Steve Vai (though he is too much like his mentor,Satriani)
5-Randy Rhoads-(was in process of launching a new style before he died)
6.Malmstien (fastest guitarist ever)
7.Kirk Hammett
8.Paul Gilbert -(I think its Paul--from Mr. Big)
9.George Lynch --(Dokken)
10.Jimmy Page-(just cause he's JIMMY PAGE!!)

The names that come to my mind as overrated:
Jimmie Hendrix-Curt Cobain-Eric Clapton-George Harrison-Kieth Richards


If we are talking influence or lifetime achievements then Angus Young and Ace Frahley should move up quite a bit.

Just my thoughts

Andre Segovia and John Williams? Who are they?

I can certainly understand that brain-dead rock-n-roll types at RS would never have heard of them.

Notice that what they're really rating is the music of the whole group, because they're unwilling to de-couple guitarists who performed together in Radiohead and MC5.

Of course, my perennial favorite is Phil Keaggy, who is just as unlikely to appear on the RS list as Segovia or Williams.

They're both listed (Johnson at 5), so I'm not too sure what you meant by that.

And I thought Les Paul (or was it Gibson) invented the electric guitar.

I went to the page and did a search for robert and it didn't turn up.

I've heard numerous bluesmen assert it was he who invented electric.
